This introduction to optical fiber concepts, applications, and techniques presented with a minimum of mathematics, is useful both for the technician and the technologist. Basic theory in optics, an explanation of waveguide propagation, and information about fiber types and designs allow students new to the field to form a good working knowledge of how optical fiber is used in communications.

Key Features
Covers all major areas of fiber optics
Uses an algebra-based approach and leaves out much of the high-level mathematics
However, presents a sufficient amount of theory and mathematics to explain the topics and prepare students for further exploration, if desired
Provides an abundance of practical examples
Contains a chapter on measurements and testing equipment
Offers flexibility in coverage - allowing some sections to be omitted by those students who are studying them in more depth in other courses
